A digital algorithm simulates the growth of a substratum inspired by coral morphology. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are inoculated on a biogel medium into the triangular cells, forming the system’s units of biological intelligence, which convert radi
Born as a critique of temporary events that leave abandoned constructions, the pavilion is formed by a wood structure with which the mycelium is merged and from which it eats, and it will grow until it dies once its purpose is fulfilled...
The project analyzes the necessary transition towards bioeconomy, and defends the ecological and also aesthetic value of biologically based materials, which create unique colors and textures like those of the mycelium panels of the pavilion...
The complex is built entirely with organic and biodegradable bricks made of corn stalks mixed with live fungal organisms, creating a light and porous wall that makes it possible for the pavilion to function as a bioclimatic building...
Created from generative algorithms and oyster mushroom mycelium on straw, Breeding Space is alive, grows, is harvested, and generates edible subproducts; from the inside it reveals the endoskeleton of welded iron rods and the timber formwork. Of the
The project studies the the genetic creation of bioluminescent trees for urban and domestic use by introducing in the plants the gene responsible for the GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein), obtained from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish...
Climate kills, science saves. During this summer of drought and fires, the best news have been scientific. Energy, inflation, and war made the covers, but some of the achievements in science cast light on a troubled world: the James Webb spatial tele
From today, determining the 3D shape of almost any protein known to science will be as simple as typing in a Google search. Researchers have used AlphaFold — the revolutionary artificial-intelligence (AI) network — to predict the structures of some 2
Every June 21st sees a census of the world’s urban microbes. Depending on where you live, June 21st is either the summer or the winter solstice. For some, this is a moment of celebration, accompanied by strange rituals. And among the celebrants are m
AI may have the answer to one of biology’s biggest challenges. To understand life, you must understand proteins. These molecular chains, each assembled from a menu of 20 types of chemical links called amino acids, do biology’s heavy lifting. In the g
